Off Kilter and British Invasion - these guys rock!

Wow! I love both these groups - cant wait to return to see them again
Only managed to get to Off Kilter for 1 of their shows. Did buy their live CD though so I have their music.
British Invasion I caught a few times. Too bad they dont have any merchandise with their logo. I understand the copyright for the music but what about tshirt, etc?

Both of these groups sell merchandise thru their website.
Last trip we bought two Off Kilter CDs in the Canadian gift shop, but we don't like the song choices on the CDs as much as we did the in-person act at WDW!

LOVE LOVE LOVE OFF Kilter. We saw them here in Ohio, at an Irish Festival my girls Irish Danced at. We bought one CD then. This was first week of August I think...Then, in EPCOT last week, my dd's Irish danced to Off Kilter in Canada. After the show, they let my kids on stage for a picture. I will try to post it here....

Off Kilter rocks. The Celtic Armedillo cd rocks. It's been in the cd player for a couple of months...I never get tired of hearing them.

I am also a big Off Kilter fan. A trip to Disney World isn't complete without them!

OK Who doesnt like Off Kilter??? They are just AWESOME!!!!!!!!! They are super accomplished musicians with none of the rock star attitude. Excellent!!!!!
also for those of you who enjoy Rock & Roll you should try to check out Mulch, Sweat & Shears at MGM Studios!!!! Just as funny and irreverant as the Off Kilter Guys but with a bit more of a classic rock & roll format!!! Belle

Off Kilter, who was voted the #1 musical act at WDW, by readers of the Disney Magazine, has been thrilling audiences for 8 years at the Canada pavilion. The British Invasion, voted #2, has been at the UK pavilion at least that long, or longer. Don't worry, I don't think they're going anywhere!

Come on over for a visit to the Off Kilter Shrine, a bunch of very friendly fans of the band. There are tons of fantastic pictures, message boards, an up to date performance schedule for their away gigs & lots of good, clean fun.
It is a family friendly site, no bad language or trashy gossip.
We're always looking for new members! :sunny:

Hi Belle!

It's Carol again!

(Belle and I met at an OK show a few years ago and keep running into each other on the web! LOL!)

where can i find the times that these bands play when we get down there?

PrincessKitty · Aug 28, 2005

Gina, when you enter Epcot, look for small kiosks that have brochures/flyers in them--you will find a flyer with the days/times of all the shows for that week. The showtimes do vary somewhat, so it's very important to pick up the brochure. You can also google Steve Soares Disney site for a listing for the current week.

DH and I have unfortunately missed Off Kilter the last few times we've gone to WDW because they didn't paly Friday and Saturday, the days we were there.

But I don't think we've ever missed seeing The British Invasion when we visit. Our tradition is for each one of us to grab a glass of our favorite adult beverage (beer for DH, champagne for me), and catch a set or two or three. The British Invasion does different songs during each set, so you can see them several times in one day without ever hearing the same Beatles song! We just love them.

Our grandson's are crazy about them. :goodvibes

DS & I ran into a Mulch, Sweat & Shears show this past Thurs Aug 25 on the way to the new Lights Motors Action car stunt show. They're awesome too

thanks for the Offkilter website

and yes I did get a beer at Rose & Crown before the first time listening to British Invasion

Here is a link that you can check out before you leave home. It is usually updated evey Saturday for the following weeks schedule. Click on the Epcot button at the top of the page to find out info on Off Kilter and British Invasion. You'll have to scroll down to find it.

I too am a HUGE Off Kilter fan! We discovered them in Epcot several years ago and always plan our park days around their schedule. We will see them in 19 days at the Indy Irish Fest in Indianapolis. Seeing them at the festival is great because they have one hour sets (and a one hour drive is a whole lot cheaper than a trip to Disney World!). They are truly a group of very nice guys (who just so happen to look awfully nice in kilts!).
